Is this by design? I seem unable to see any member profile - including my own - from any of the member name links in the forum, including (in my own case) the 'members online' list on the Forum Home page.
I am definitely logged in. I seem to remember that the member profile page used to be a good hub from which to send them a message or contact them by other means (had they chosen to display such details). But that could have been a memory of another time, another place. Details of set-up (if relevant) happily provided on request, web-meister! |

Isn't it something to do with recently changed privacy regulations?

Yes again. Read the GDPR topic in this section. To make profiles public I would have to get all members to agree to it. Well that's the advice I was given.

I always found member profiles really useful.
Not a big problem. You could make it a condition of membership renewal Brian, as long as the data subject’s consent is clear informed and not by a pre ticked box. With their express permission data sharing is not an issue. Keep up the good work |

Thanks, Brian and Jim Mac. And understood.
Sorry if I made you repeat yourselves. I don't suppose that 'error message' displayed is editable to provide the reason, so's no-one else has to ask? No? Thought not. |

I can change the terms for new members, but how do I get the consent of existing members? I agree this situation is far from ideal. I don't think I can change that error message though. Now that this GDPR thing has been around for a bit, maybe I could ask other WebWiz forums what they now do. WebWiz run an information forum for that sort of help.

For myself, as the opening poster, I'm content that I now know the reason (even if I missed a previous statement to that effect!)
I've been seeing some oddities with a new version of Firefox so I just starting to wonder if that was another... As you were! |

How about sending a PM to the person you want details of ? Then they can choose themselves whether to give you personal information so they can.
Otherwise you (and I ) are just snooping. If you want to give out your info freely just put it on the tag ( signature ) line. Cheers Min

Jim who is Briam? and why do you have admit rights? Was it a long day or an early resort to the malt?

On reflection, and as on other forums, the member profiles are visible, I have decided to reinstate this feature. So now all active members can view profiles. Guests, or anyone not logged in cannot.
